I actually think just buying the digital copies is pretty great. I have a big library of movies, and I have muse check for digital discounts, so most movies i have gotten were <$10, often <$5. For kids, this includes basically every animated disney/pixar/illumination movie ever. You can get recurring hits like Gilmore Girls or friends on sale sometimes for like $29, the whole series.

I did cancel Disney+, For the cost of 4 movie purchases or a series a month basically.

I thought about Jellyfin, but it was worth the convenience cost to get them easily viewable.

Movies Anywhere helps because i just buy them wherever they are on sale and watch in 1 place.

Do you get a perpetual use license when you buy this way? Are they DRM locked so you’ll lose access if someone shuts down their server?
